It's been quiet on this front for a long while now, so I wonder if anybody's actually working on it? If nobody's working on it, I see no option except to start investigating how to write one (todays snow means that the motorcycle season is definitely *over*...). So I'm starting today, by printing out the source for the NNTP and POP backends, to see what they look like and what requirements a Gnus backend has to satisfy. But, I'm hoping I won't have to...:-/ - Steinar
